A member asked:
Hi, other than doing flushing n adding heparin solutions to the dextrose bag, is there any other treatment for fibrin for capd? tq
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A bit of context: you'd want to make sure tehre isn't an inflammatory reason for the fibrin (infection, bleeding). Mostly that would be very obvious. More frequent flushing/heparin are the usual ways to control fibrin.
